Dear Penny,
I subscribe to your emails & really enjoy reading them, but am just not into facebook. What's all the fuss about "liking" or "following" everyone? Why should I? Won't everyone be spying on me? What's in it for me?
Signed,
Maya Statiss

Dear Maya,
True, the blue facebook icon is everywhere. But did you know that 750 million people & businesses use facebook worldwide?

Facebook began as a social platform for friends & family to connect, and now businesses use it to promote their brand, offer special deals and communicate with their public.

Wolff's Flea Market utilizes many types of online social media (more about this in a future issue). Facebook is our fun, friendly, interactive and informative dialogue between vendors, customers and staff.

Sellers advertise their products for FREE on our page. In turn, customers looking for a specific item might ask who is selling it.

Last minute weather-related/schedule info has proven especially helpful to vendors and customers on rainy Rosemont Sundays. Look at our older facebook posts to see how efficiently we kept everyone informed on July 24! 

Facebook is also fun! We love to share! You'll find hundreds of interesting and unique photos in our albums. Followers can post their favorite flea market finds. But you can't do this if you don't join!

*Best of all...we occasionally offer FREE ADMISSION coupons exclusively for our facebook followers.

When you sign up for facebook, you will be given the option to keep your account private. If you become a Wolff's Flea Market follower, people will see only your name, comments to us and profile photo. That's all. If you have attended to your privacy settings, they will not be able to gain access to your phone number, favorite color, shoe size, personal photos, address, email, birthday, last night's dessert choice, what time you woke up, place of employment, etc. Read more HERE

So hop on board! Click on any of the Like us on Facebook buttons in this Newsletter to join or follow us! 

* Look on facebook next week for FREE admission coupons (Rosemont & Palatine) for the weekend of September 10 & 11.

Love,
Penny

VENDOR TIPS FOR WOLFF'S FLEA MARKET

Seller's Rules & Tips wolffs.com   FACEBOOK & CRAIGSLIST We encourage our vendors to post their items on social media: facebook page, Buy, Sell, Trade Group  & craigslist. These listings are FREE!  We love this concept because buyers and sellers are able to meet in a neutral location at the market (must have a selling space-no parking lot sales). This also draws new customers to the entire market and helps everyone! Many vendors have had success with social media. Customers have come from as far as Iowa to purchase their items! For more advanced posters, please "tag" your photos & posts with #wolffsfleamarket and @wolffsfleamarket. If you don't know what this means, please disregard! EARLY CLOSE DAYS Occasionally the Rosemont market may need to close early due to a stadium event. We continue to have a steady customer flow on these days because we are an "early shopper market". The majority of shoppers attend before 11am. Don...

C - Canopy Weights A - Are N - Not O - Optional P - Please Y - You need to be safe ! Vendors, this post is for you. With hot weather upon us, many of you will choose to bring a canopy to shield you and your merchandise from the sun. It is very important that when setting up your booth for the day that the first tasks you attend to are your CANOPY & UMBRELLA WEIGHTS. We understand you are eager to unpack your merchandise, but if you are using a canopy, the first priority is safety. Do not leave your weights in your vehicle "to set up later". You may get busy and forget. Wind and wind gusts are an inherent part of of being outside and can occur at any time. Early in the day, the air may seem calm, but being in a wide open space, wind gusts can occur. As the day progresses, air currents from overhead planes and other weather conditions can also cause windy conditions. Occasionally we may require canopies to be taken down due to weathe...
